奥巴马就利比亚问题全国电视讲话全文

第一篇：奥巴马就利比亚问题全国电视讲话全文

北京时间3月29日清晨7点30分，美国总统奥巴马就利比亚局势发表全国电视讲话。奥巴马在讲话中为美国领导下的多国干预利比亚军事行动进行辩护，称阻止一场潜在的大屠杀发生符合美国的国家利益。他同时宣布，北约将于本周三正式接手利比亚军事干预指挥权。以下是奥巴马讲话全文：

晚上好，我想在今晚就我们在利比亚所作出的国际努力向美国人民提供最新情况：我们已作了什么、我们计划采取什么措施、以及为什么它对我们很重要。

我想在讲话开始的时候向我们的男女军人表示感谢，他们的行动再次展现了勇气、职业精神、爱国主义。他们行动的速度和力量令人难以置信。由于他们和我们外交官的专注努力，一个联盟得以组建，无数生命得以挽救。与此同时，就在我们发言的时候，我们的部队正在支援我们的盟友日本，把伊拉克交还给伊拉克人民、在阿富汗制止塔利班的攻势、在全球范围内追捕基地组织成员。作为美军总司令，我和全体美国人一起对我们的陆军士兵、海军士兵、空军士兵、海军陆战队员、海岸警卫队队员和他们的家人表示感谢。作为全球安全的基石和人类自由的拥护者，美国在过去数十年里一直发挥着独特的作用。考虑到军事行动的风险和费用，很自然的，我们不太愿意使用武力来解决世界面临的许多挑战。但是当我们的利益和价值遇到危险时，我们有采取行动的责任。这就是利比亚在过去六周所发生的事情。

利比亚位于突尼斯和埃及之间，突尼斯和埃及人民站出来掌握自己命运的行动使世界受到鼓舞。在过去四十多年里，利比亚人民一直被一个暴君统治着，他就是卡扎菲。他剥夺了人民的自由，剥削他们的财富，杀害国内外的反对者、恐吓世界各地的无辜民众，其中包括被利比亚特工杀害的美国人。

上个月，卡扎菲的恐怖统治似乎将让位于对自由的承诺。利比亚人走上全国各地城镇街头，要求获得基本人权。正如一位利比亚人所说的那样：“我们终于可以希望，我们四十年的恶梦将很快结束。这是我们第一次有这样的希望。”

卡扎菲在遭遇反对后开始攻击自己的人民。作为总统，我立即担心的是我们公民的安全，所以我们撤离了我们的使馆工作人员和所有寻求我们帮助的美国人。我们随后在数天内采取了快速的行动以应对卡扎菲的行动。我们冻结了330多亿美元的卡扎菲政权资产。我们和联合国安理会成员国合作扩大了针对利比亚的制裁措施，对利比亚实施了武器禁运，使卡扎菲及其身边人士将为他们的行为付出代价。我明确表示，卡扎菲已失去了利比亚人民的信任，失去了领导的合法性。我说，他需要下台。

在面对世界的谴责时，卡扎菲选择升级他的攻击行动，对利比亚人民采取了军事打击行动。无辜人士遭到故意杀害，医院和救护车遭到攻击，记者们遭到逮捕、性侵犯和杀害。食品和燃料的供应被切断，供应米苏拉塔数十万居民的水设施被关掉。城镇遭到炮击，清真寺被毁，公寓楼变成一片废墟。卡扎菲动用军用飞机和武装直升机来攻击那些没有办法保护自身免遭空中袭击的平民。

在出现这种残暴的镇压，一场人道主义危机也隐约出现的时候，我下令海军舰只进入地中海。欧洲盟国表示愿意提供资源以制止杀戮。利比亚反对派和阿拉伯联盟呼吁世界采取行动以挽救利比亚的生命。在我的指示下，美国和我们在联合国安理会的盟国一起促使安理会通过一项具有历史意义的决议案。决议案授权在利比亚建立禁飞区以制止卡扎菲政权从空中发动袭击，它还进一步授权采取所有必要措施以保护利比亚人民。

在十天前，曾试图通过不动用武力来结束暴力的国际社会向卡扎菲提供了停止杀戮行动或者面临严峻后果的最后机会。卡扎菲的部队不但没有停止行动，而且还继续推进，逼近班加西。班加西有近70万男人、女人和儿童，他们试图获得免受恐惧的自由。

在这个时刻，美国和世界面临一个选择。卡扎菲宣布，他将对自己的人民“毫不留情”。他把他们比作老鼠，威胁要挨家挨户地进行惩罚。我们在过去曾目睹他在大街上吊死平民，在一天之内就杀死了一千多人。现在，我们看到卡扎菲政府军出现在班加西郊外。我们知道，如果我们再多等待一天，在班加西-这个几乎与夏洛特面积相等的城市将会发生大屠杀事件，大屠杀事件将会对整个地区产生影响，使世界的良知蒙上污点。

让那样的事情发生不符合我们的国家利益，我拒绝让那样的事情发生。所以在九天前，在与国会两党领导层进行磋商后，我授权对利比亚采取军事行动以制止杀戮，强制执行联合国安理会第1973号决议案。我们打击了逼近班加西的卡扎菲政府军，保护了班加西和班加西的居民。我们在邻近的艾季达比耶打击了卡扎菲的部队，使反对派武装能够把他们驱逐出去。我们打击了利比亚的防空系统，为建立禁飞区铺平了道路。我们打击了一直在封锁城镇的利比亚坦克和军事目标，我们切断了卡扎菲政府军的大部分后勤供应。今晚，我可以报告称，我们已制止了卡扎菲部队的推进。

美国不是独自进行这一努力的。相反，我们有一个强大而且不断壮大的联盟，它包括与我们关系最为密切的盟国-诸如英国、法国、加拿大、丹麦、挪威、意大利、西班牙、希腊、土耳其等国。所有这些国家在过去数十年里一直与我们并肩作战。联盟中也包括像卡塔尔和阿联酋这样的阿拉伯盟友，它们选择担负起保护利比亚人民的责任。

让我们总结一下：仅仅用了一个月的时间，美国和我们的国际盟友就合作动员了一个范围扩大的联盟，获得了保护平民的国际授权，制止了一支正在推进的军队，防止了大屠杀，和我们的盟国和伙伴建立了禁飞区。为了让人们了解这一军事和外交行动是如此的迅速，我们可以回忆一下二十世纪九十年代的波斯尼亚。当波斯尼亚的人民生活在恐怖状态时，国际社会花了一年多的时间才决定动用空中力量来进行干涉以保护平民。

此外，这些目标是与我在军事行动开始时向美国人民的承诺相一致的情况下实现的。我当时称，美国在军事行动中的作用将是有限的，我们将不会向利比亚派地面部队，我们将把我们的独特能力聚焦于行动的开始阶段，我们将向我们的盟友和伙伴移交责任。今晚，我们正在兑现这些承诺。

我们最有效的联盟北约已接管了强制执行武器禁运和禁飞区任务的指挥权。北约昨晚决定进一步承担保护利比亚平民的责任。美国将于周三向北约移交指挥权。执行禁飞区、保护地面平民的主导权将转交给我们的盟国和伙伴。我完全相信，我们的联盟将加大对卡扎菲残余部队的压力。美国将在这一方面发挥支持性作用，其中包括情报、后勤支援、搜索和营救援助、干扰卡扎菲政权通讯的能力。由于行动已转交给一个更为广泛、基于北约的联盟，对于我们的军队和美国纳税人来说，军事行动的风险和费用将大大降低。

对于那些曾怀疑我们执行这一行动能力的人，我想明确表示：美国已兑现了它的承诺。

这并不是说我们的工作已经完成。除了我们的北约责任外，我们将继续与国际社会合作，以便向利比亚人民提供援助。饥饿的利比亚人需要食品，伤者需要得到医治。我们将确保卡扎菲政权遭冻结的330多亿美元的资金安全，以使其能够用于重建利比亚。毕竟，这笔钱不属于卡扎菲或者我们，它属于利比亚人民。我们将确保他们能得到那笔钱。

明天，国务卿希拉里-克林顿将抵达伦敦；在那里，她将与利比亚反对派，并与超过30个国家一同商讨之后的方案。他们的会谈将聚焦对卡扎菲施压必须采取何种外交努力，同时在利比亚人民能够承受的条件下在未来平稳过渡。我们的军事任务的目标是保护平民的生命；而利比亚不属于一个独裁者，属于利比亚全体人民，所以我们将为了这一更远大的目标继续努力。

尽管，我们在过去几周的努力获得了成功，但我知道还有一个美国人会对于我们在利比亚的努力产生疑问。卡扎菲还没有下台，而在他下台之前，利比亚将仍然面临危险。而且即使卡扎菲卸任，他长达40年的统治已经使利比亚支离破碎，缺乏强有力的公民体系。对于利比亚人民来说，合法政权的过渡将是一个艰难的任务。美国将尽我们所能提供帮助，因为这同时是国际社会的责任；而更重要的，这是利比亚人民自己的任务。

实际上，华盛顿大多数的争论集中在针对利比亚的错误选择上。一方面，有些人质疑为什么美国应该干涉——甚至是有限的方式来干涉这个遥远的国家。他们争论，世界上有许多地方都存在类似的问题，无辜百姓面对政府的残忍暴力统治；美国不应该被期望成为“世界警察”，特别是当我们自己仍面临许多压力。

确实，美国不可能在所有镇压发生的地方使用我们的军队；并且，考虑到武力干涉的花费和风险，我们应该总是先衡量利益而不是需要。但是，为了正确的目标而行动，永远不应该遭遇争论。在这个特殊的国家——利比亚；在这个特殊的时刻，我们面对的暴力已经达到了令人毛骨悚然的程度。我们拥有停止这种暴力的特殊能力：得到国际授权的行动，多国部队的加入，阿拉伯国家的支持，以及利比亚人民提出的请求。同时，我们也有能力在不派出美军士兵进入利比亚的前提下，阻止卡扎菲及其部队前进的步伐。

对美国作为一个领导者的责任置之不理，更为深远的是，对处于危险情况下的其他人所应承担的责任置之不理，将是对我们自已的背叛。也许有些国家可以对其它国家的暴行视而不见，但美国不同。作为总统，我拒绝等待，必须在出现杀戮和集体墓地之前采取行动。

另外，防止卡扎菲过度凌驾于反对者之上，对于美国来说也有重要的战略利益。大屠杀将导致成千上万的难民越过利比亚边境，将对和平造成极大的威胁：它将对埃及和突尼斯原本脆弱的过渡产生不利，让该地区刚刚出现的民主进程被黑暗遮盖；而镇压反对意见的那些领导人们则会确信，使用暴力是稳定政权最好的策略；联合国安理会的法令也将基本成为一纸空文，不足以在未来支持全球和平和安全。所以，我不会将涉入军事行动的花费实现最小化，我深信如果在利比亚的行动失败，将对美国造成更大的影响。

现在，在那些据理反对干涉利比亚的人之外，也有其他人建议我们扩大军事行动，将任务不仅仅局限在保护利比亚人民；尽一切所能罢免卡扎菲，开辟一个新的政府。

当然，卡扎菲的下台对利比亚和全世界来说都是一件好事，这是毋庸置疑的。我和许多其它国家领导人一起在努力，并将用非军事手段积极的追求这一目标。但是，为了实现政权更迭而扩大我们的军事任务将是一个错误。

我委派美国部队的任务是保护利比亚民众远离直接的危险，在联合国授权和国际支持的条件下建立禁飞区。这也是利比亚反对派要求我们做的。如果我们试图以武力推翻卡扎菲，我们的联合将出现分裂。我们可能将不得不派美国军队进入地面，或者冒着从空中杀死许多无辜平民的风险。这对于我们的男女军人，我们的花费，以及我们接下来将分担的责任都将面临更大的危险。

老实说，我们走了伊拉克那条路，感谢我们军队士兵的巨大牺牲和我们外交官的决心；我们可以期望伊拉克的未来。但是，政权的转变花费了长达8年的时间，损失了成千上万美国人和伊拉克人的生命，以及将近一万亿美元的代价。这不是我们能够在利比亚再次负担的事情。

随着我们大多数军事努力逐渐减少，我们能做的，以及我们将做的，是支持利比亚人民的愿望。我们已经干涉阻止了屠杀，我们还将在伙伴的领导下共同保障民众的安全。我们将打击卡扎菲政权的武装，切断他们的资金供给；帮助反对派，协助其他国家加速卡扎菲的卸任。这也许不会在一夜之间发生，但我们会最大程度的阻止卡扎菲把握权力的努力。但是，卡扎菲身边的人应该清楚，所有利比亚人也应该明白，历史不会在他的左右。随着我们向利比亚人民提供的时间和空间，他们将决定自己的命运。

让我更详细的解释一下此次行动关于美国军事力量的使用，以及在我的领导下，美国在世界范围更加广阔的领导力。

最为最高指挥官，我最大的责任便是保证这个国家的安全。对我来说，没有什么比将国家的男女分派到军中服役更加令我烦恼的事。我想说明的是，当需要保护我们的人民、国土、盟国和核心利益时，我将绝对不会犹豫使用我们的军队；这也正是为什么有基地组织据点的地方就有我们士兵的足迹。这就是即便我们已经完成在伊拉克的作战任务，从那里撤出10万部队之后，还要在阿富汗继续战斗的原因。

然而，也有很多次，我们的安全虽然并未受到直接的威胁，但我们的利益和价值遭到挑战。有时，历史的进程会形成挑战，对我们共同人类和共同安全造成威胁，例如自然灾害，或者阻止种族灭绝和维持和平。确保地区安全，维持商业的流动性。这也许不仅仅是美国独自的问题，但它们对我们非常重要；也是值得去解决的问题。在这种环境之下，我们知道美国作为世界上最强大的国家，将被经常要求提供帮助。

在这种情况下，我们不应惧怕行动——行动责任也不应属于美国一家。正如在利比亚，我们的任务转而成为调动国际社会集体行动。因为与一些人要求的相反，美国的领导不是简单的单打独斗，自己承受所有的责任和负担。真正的领导力是创造条件，联合其他人，更好地达成目标；与同盟及伙伴一起努力，所以也一同承担责任，共同支付花费；能够看到一个公平的原则，并且人类的尊严也得到了上升。

这就是我们在利比亚显示出的领导力。当然，即使当我们的地位是多国部队之一，任何军事行动都存在高风险；当我们的飞机在利比亚上空出现故障，我们认识到了这种风险。然而，当我们的飞行员跳伞降落到地面，来到这个领导人经常妖魔化美国的国家——这个对我们国家来说拥有如此艰难的历史的地区——我们的美国飞行员并没有发现敌人。相反，他遇到的人们欢迎他的到来。一个帮助他的利比亚年轻人说：“我们是你的朋友，我们非常感谢你们保卫天空。”

这种声音只是该地区许多声音中的一个，该地区新的一代人拒绝继续被剥夺权利和机会。是的，这种变化将使世界更为复杂。进展将是不平衡的，变革在不同国家的表现方式也不同。在埃及这样的地方，变革将会使我们受到鼓舞，提升我们的希望。在伊朗那样的地方，变革遭到残酷的压制。人们必须避免内部冲突和教派战争这样的黑暗力量，应对困难的政治和经济问题。

美国将不能决定变革的节奏和范围，只有该地区人民可以作到这一点，但我们可以发挥作用，我认为，变革运动不能被逆转，我们必须与那些相信同样原则的人们站在一起，这些原则曾指引我们度过风暴：我们反对针对自己国家公民的暴力、支持一系列普世权利，其中包括自由表达权和选择自己领导人的权利，我们支持对人民的愿望作出回应的政府。

作为渴望自由人士所推动革命的产物，我们美国对正在发生的事实——正在变化中的中东和北非历史，以及在这一变化中发挥主导作用的年轻人——表示欢迎。因为不管渴望自由的人是哪些人，他们都将在美国找到朋友。最终，是信念——那些理想——是美国领导能力的真正考量标准。

我的美国同胞，我知道当海外形势发生动荡时，当新闻里充斥着冲突和变革时，人们会很容易地选择把视线从海外移开。正如我之前所说的那样，我们在海外的力量基于我们国内的实力。这必须一直是我们的北极星-我们的人民实现他们潜能的能力、明智地使用我们的资源、扩大作为我们能力源泉的繁荣局面、按照我们所珍视的价值观生活。

但也请我们记住，在过去数十年里，我们为保护自己的人民和全球各地的数以百万计的人们作了艰苦的工作。我们这样作是因为我们知道，如果更多的人生活在自由和尊严的明亮阳光下，我们自己的未来将会更加安全和光明。今晚，让我们感谢那些在艰苦时代服务的美国人和正在让我们的努力取得进展的盟友。让我们抱着信心和希望来展望未来，不仅是为我们自己的国家，也是为那些世界各地渴望自由的人们。感谢你，上帝保佑你，愿上帝保佑美国。（完）

第二篇：奥巴马电视讲话

美国总统奥巴马于昨日在白宫发表了面向全国的电视讲话，宣布基地组织1号人物奥萨马•本•拉登在上周被美军击毙。他还透露，此次行动中美军无人受伤，而且他们成功获取了本•拉登的尸体。奥巴马在讲话中谴责了十年前基地组织对美国发起“9•11”恐怖袭击事件，并称拉登之死是美国反恐事业的“重大成就”。

The White House

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release May 02, 2011

THE PRESIDENT: Good evening.Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory--hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky;the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground;black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon;the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more

heartbreak and destruction.And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.The empty seat at the dinner table.Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or

ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda--an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe.And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort.We’ve

disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban 塔利班government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven 港口and support.And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates附属企业；分支机构； across the world.And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle废除, and defeat his network.Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan.And finally, last week, I

determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends

and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must –-and we will--remain vigilant at home and abroad.As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –-and never will be-– at war with Islam.I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam.Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader;he was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries，including our own.So his demise 死亡should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we’ve done.But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic

day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores, and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me重压于 every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet as a country, we will never

tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done.Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work, nor know their names.But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.We give thanks for the men who

carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered 动摇in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the

American people.The cause of securing our country is not complete.But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens;our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.Thank you.May God bless you.And

may God bless the United States of America.Central Intelligence Agency（中央情报局，美国

奥巴马关于太阳能与新能源的电视讲话：

Over the past twenty months, we’ve been fighting not just to create more jobs today, but to rebuild our economy on a stronger foundation.Our future as a nation depends on making sure that the jobs and industries of the 21st century take root here in America.And there is perhaps no industry with more potential to create jobs now – and growth in the coming years – than clean energy.For decades, we’ve talked about the importance of ending our dependence on foreign oil and pursuing new kinds of energy, like wind and solar power.But for just as long, progress had been prevented at every turn by the special interests and their allies in Washington.So, year after year, our dependence on foreign oil grew.Families have been held hostage to spikes in gas prices.Good manufacturing jobs have gone overseas.And we’ve seen companies produce new energy technologies and high-skilled jobs not in America, but in countries like China, India and Germany.It was essential – for our economy, our security, and our planet – that we finally tackle this challenge.That is why, since we took office, my administration has made an historic commitment to promote clean energy technology.This will mean hundreds of thousands of new American jobs by 2012.Jobs for contractors to install energy-saving windows and insulation.Jobs for factory workers to build high-tech vehicle batteries, electric cars, and hybrid trucks.Jobs for engineers and construction crews to create wind farms and solar plants that are going to double the renewable energy we can generate in this country.These are jobs building the future.For example, I want share with you one new development, made possible by the clean energy incentives we have launched.This month, in the Mojave Desert, a company called BrightSource plans to break ground on a revolutionary new type of solar power plant.It’s going to put about a thousand people to work building a state-of-the-art facility.And when it’s complete, it will turn sunlight into the energy that will power up to 140,000 homes – the largest such plant in the world.Not in China.Not in India.But in California.With projects like this one, and others across this country, we are staking our claim to continued leadership in the new global economy.And we’re putting Americans to work producing clean, home-grown American energy that will help lower our reliance on foreign oil and protect our planet for future generations.Now there are some in Washington who want to shut them down.In fact, in the Pledge they recently released, the Republican leadership is promising to scrap all the incentives for clean energy projects, including those currently underway – even with all the jobs and potential that they hold.This doesn’t make sense for our economy.It doesn’t make sense for Americans who are looking for jobs.And it doesn’t make sense for our future.To go backwards and scrap these plans means handing the competitive edge to China and other nations.It means that we’ll grow even more dependent on foreign oil.And, at a time of economic hardship, it means forgoing jobs we desperately need.In fact, shutting down just this one project would cost about a thousand jobs.That’s what’s at stake in this debate.We can go back to the failed energy policies that profited the oil companies but weakened our country.We can go back to the days when promising industries got set up overseas.Or we can go after new jobs in growing industries.We can spur innovation and help make our economy more competitive.We know the choice that’s right for America.We need to do what we’ve always done – put our ingenuity and can do spirit to work to fight for a brighter future.Thanks..环保！，经济，恐怖，党，解放，开放，教育，卫生，自然灾害，旅游，生活，会议，体育，战争，食品安全！

President Barack Obama Weekly Address: Working Together to Create Jobs The White House October 15, 2011

I'm here in Detroit visiting workers at a GM plant in the heart of a resurgent American auto industry.And I brought a guest with me ? President Lee of South Korea.We're here because this week, Congress passed landmark trade agreements with countries like Korea, and assistance for American workers that will be a big win for our economy.These trade agreements will support tens of thousands of American jobs.And we'll sell more Fords, Chevys and Chryslers abroad stamped with three proud words ? “Made in America.”

So it was good to see Congress act in a bipartisan way on something that will help create jobs at a time when millions of Americans are out of work and need them now.But that's also why it was so disappointing to see Senate Republicans obstruct the American Jobs Act, even though a majority of Senators voted “yes” to advance this jobs bill.We can't afford this lack of action.And there is no reason for it.Independent economists say that this jobs bill would give the economy a jumpstart and lead to nearly two million new jobs.Every idea in that jobs bill is the kind of idea both parties have supported in the past.The majority of the American people support the proposals in this jobs bill.And they want

action from their elected leaders to create jobs and restore some security for the middle class right now.You deserve to see your hard work and responsibility rewarded ? and you certainly deserve to see it reflected in the folks you send to Washington.But rather than listen to you and put folks back to work, Republicans in the House spent the past couple days picking partisan ideological fights.They're seeing if they can roll back clean air and water protections.They're stirring up fights over a woman's right to make her own health care choices.They're not focused on the concrete actions that will put people back to work right now.Well, we're going to give them another chance.We're going to give them another chance to spend more time worrying about your jobs than keeping theirs.Next week, I'm urging Members of Congress to vote on putting hundreds of thousands of teachers back in the classroom, cops back on the streets, and firefighters back on the job.And if they vote “no” on that, they'll have to tell you why.They'll have to tell you why teachers in your community don't deserve a paycheck again.They'll have to tell your kids why they don't deserve to have their teacher back.They'll have to tell you why they're against commonsense proposals that would help families and strengthen our communities right now.In the coming weeks, we'll have them vote on the other parts of the jobs bill ? putting construction workers back on the job, rebuilding our roads and bridges;providing tax cuts for small businesses that hire our veterans;making sure that middle-class families don't see a tax hike next year and that the unemployed and our out-of-work youth have a chance to get back in the workforce and earn their piece of the American Dream.That's what's at stake.Putting people back to work.Restoring economic security for the middle class.Rebuilding an economy where hard work is valued and responsibility is

rewarded ? an economy that's built to last.And I'm going to travel all over the country over the next few weeks so we can remind Congress so that's the most important thing.Because there's still time to create jobs and grow our economy right now.There's still time for Congress to do the right thing.We just need to act.Thanks.

第五篇：奥巴马6月16日电视讲话

Weekly Address: Ending the Stalemate in Washington

June 16, 2012 Over the last few weeks, I’ve been talking a lot about America’s economic future.I’ve told you how I believe we should go about creating strong, sustained growth;how we should pay down our long-term debt in a balanced way;and most of all, what we should do right now to create good, middle-class jobs, so people who work hard can get ahead.This isn’t some abstract debate or trivial argument.I’ve said that this is the defining issue of our time, and I mean it.I’ve said that this is a make-or-break moment for the middle class, and I believe it.The decisions we make over the next few years will have an enormous impact on the country we live in, and the one we pass on to our children.Right now, we’re still fighting our way back from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.The economy is growing again, but it’s not growing fast enough.Our businesses have created 4.3 million new jobs over the last 27 months, but we’re not creating them fast enough.And we’re facing some pretty serious headwinds – from the effects of the recent spike in gas prices, to the financial crisis in Europe.But here’s the thing.We have the answers to these problems.We have plenty of big ideas and technical solutions from both sides of the aisle.That’s not what’s holding us back.What’s holding us back is a stalemate in Washington.Last September, I sent Congress a jobs bill full of the kinds of bipartisan ideas that could have put over a million Americans back to work and helped bolster our economy against outside shocks.I sent them a plan that would have reduced our deficit by $4 trillion in a balanced way that pays for the investments we need by cutting unnecessary spending and asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little bit more in taxes.Since then, Congress has passed a few parts of that jobs bill, like a tax cut that's allowing working Americans to keep more of your paycheck every week.But on most of the ideas that would create jobs and grow our economy, Republicans in Congress haven’t lifted a finger.They’d rather wait until after the election in November.Just this past week, one

of them said, “Why not wait for the reinforcements?” That’s a quote.And you can bet plenty of his colleagues are thinking the same thing.I think that’s wrong.This isn’t about who wins or loses in Washington.This is about your jobs, your paychecks, your children’s future.There’s no excuse for Congress to stand by and do nothing while so many families are struggling.None.Right now, Congress should pass a bill to help states put thousands of teachers, firefighters and police officers back on the job.They should have passed a bill a long time ago to put thousands of construction workers back to work rebuilding our roads and bridges and runways.And instead of just talking about job creators, they should give small-business owners a tax break for hiring more workers and paying them higher wages.Right now, Congress should give every responsible homeowner the opportunity to save an average of $3,000 a year by refinancing their mortgage.They should extend tax credits for clean energy manufacturers so we don’t walk away from 40,000 good jobs.And instead of giving tax breaks to companies who ship jobs overseas, Congress should take that money and use it to cover moving expenses for companies that are bringing jobs back to America.There’s no reason to wait.Every problem we face is within our power to solve.What’s lacking is our politics.Remind your Members of Congress why you sent them to Washington in the first place.Tell them to stop worrying about the next election and start worrying about the next generation.I’m ready to work with anyone – Republican, Democrat, or Independent – who is serious about moving this country forward.And I hope Members of Congress will join me.Thanks, and have a great weekend.
